答案详解

1.[D]【解析】名词词义辨析。intention“计划，目的”；determination“坚定，决断力”；dedication“奉献，献词”；New Year resolution“新年的计划，决心”。

2.[A]【解析】动词短语辨析。call forth“振作起，唤起”；call at“访问”；call on“拜访，请求，号召”；call off“取消”，根据分析，可知选A。

3.[A]【解析】形容词词义辨析。profound“深切的，深远的”；deep“深的，深奥的”；extreme“末端的，极端的”；shallow“浅的，浮浅的”。由句中的deeply impressed可排除C、D。deep是普通用词，指由上而下或由表及里的深度，可指具体或抽象事物；profound多指抽象事物，较为庄重，故A更符合题意。

4.[C]【解析】形容词词义辨析和搭配。dependent“依赖的，依靠的”通常与on搭配；reliable与dependable都表示“可靠的，可信赖的”，一般用来修饰人或物。inseparable“分不开的”，一般后接from，故选C。

5.[C]【解析】名词词义辨析。aim，purpose都表示“目的”；essence“本质，实质”；content“内容，含量”，but转折总结演讲的最主要内容，故空格处应填表示“实质，主旨”等意思的词，故选C。
